Lucas brings down Ronaldo through on goal in the 1st minute and as last man has to go off. Ronaldo scores the resulting penalty in which Mignolet dislocates his shoulder going down to his right, tipping the ball onto the post but the ball trickling in off a goal post rebound from Mignolet's bonce. The game restarts with Balotelli getting a soft yellow card for a trip and then ten minutes later reacts to a Pepe lunge by throwing the ball at the ref and gets sent off. Gerrard pulls up with a groiny and is replaced by Coutinho who should have started in the first place but we are now down to nine men. Madrid get a free kick in the 23rd minute, ball comes across the box and goes in off Sterling - own goal, spookily similar to Richard Dunne's owny on Sunday. 2-0, down to nine men and into the second half. The lads put up a brave fight but Ramos in the 67th minute decides to go for a run from the half way line and mazily dribbles through the entire Liverpool team and slots it past Brad Jones who is dazzled by a laser pen from the Madrid end. 3-0 win for Madrid and a pretty disastrous night only made worse when rumours surface from the tunnel that Arbeloa has been headbutted by a furious Glen Johnson and the ensuing free-for-all is captured on camera and will be on Youtube tomorrow. Rodgers says we did OK and is proud of the boys. That's 2-0, 3-0, 4-0. More worst case scenarios and they won't happen.
We didn't put a foot in to get a free We played 2/3 frees we could've loaded the box short We saw lallana caught offside 5/6 times We took off coutinho for no good reason Then there the gaps after 20 mins, Neville called it and it's really a trend. We can't play with intensity for more than that ever.... Are we even a fit side???)
